The Return to Urban Living — Why More People Are Moving Back to Cities

After years of suburban and rural migration during the pandemic, cities have been making a comeback in the past couple of years. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the percentage of people moving to cities has risen to 16%. While that may not sound like a big number to you, it is the highest level in a decade – and that’s a big deal (see graph below):And data from BrightMLS seems to confirm this trend. In a recent survey, 1 in 5 (20.6%) people looking to buy say they want to live in the city.So, what’s behind this ongoing shift back to urban living? Let’s break down the top three reasons why people are trading quiet suburbs for bustling cityscapes. You may find out you want to sell your house with a big yard and move to an urban oasis, too.1. Vibrant CultureCities have always been hubs of culture, entertainment, and community. They’re packed with energy and there are always endless things to do. During the pandemic, a lot of that excitement was put on pause. But the last couple of years? Cities are buzzing again.There’s nothing quite like being able to walk to your favorite coffee shop, pop into a local gallery, see a live concert or show, or grab a last-minute dinner at a great spot down the street. It’s a lifestyle that’s easy to love — and one a lot of people want today.2. Being Close to WorkRemote work is still a thing, but most companies are moving to hybrid schedules or even bringing employees back to the office. That makes living closer to work way more convenient. Whether it’s cutting down a long commute or having more chances to network in person, being close to the office is a big plus — especially for industries that thrive on face-to-face connections.3. Easy Access To Everything You Need or WantOne of the best things about living in a city? The convenience. Public transportation, top-notch healthcare, and so much more are all within easy reach. For a lot of people, having everything nearby just makes life easier — and it’s a big reason they’re drawn to urban living.What To Do If You Want To Move To the CityLet's say you moved to a suburban area during the pandemic and you’re missing the excitement of living right off city streets. You’re probably thinking: how can I afford to move back into the heart of things with how mortgage rates and home prices are? Here’s how other people are doing it.According to data from the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), home values have gone up by 57.4% in the last 5 years alone. And that means your house is probably going to sell for more than you bought it for.If you already own a home in the suburbs, you may be able to sell that house and use the equity you get back to fuel your move. Sure, you may have to compromise and be happy with a smaller, urban space – but if it’s the lifestyle you’re craving – that trade-off is going to be worth it. To find out what’s possible and what it costs to live in an urban area, lean on a local real estate professional.Bottom LineThe urban renaissance is real. Whether it’s the vibrant culture, being close to work, or having easy access to everything you need, cities are once again calling — and people are answering.What’s your favorite thing about life in the city? Connect with an agent to find a home you love where all the hustle and bustle makes life a bit more exciting.
Buying a Home May Help Shield You from Inflation

It feels like everything is getting more expensive these days. That’s because inflation has remained higher than normal for longer than expected – and that’s impacting the costs of goods, services, and more. And with rising costs all around you, you’re probably questioning: is now really the right time to buy a home?Here’s the good news. Owning a home is actually one of the best ways to protect yourself from the rising costs that come with inflation.A Fixed Mortgage Protects You from Rising Housing CostsOne of the key benefits of homeownership is that when you buy a home with a fixed-rate mortgage, your biggest monthly expense — your mortgage payment — stabilizes. Sure, your payment could rise slightly as your homeowner’s insurance and property taxes shift. But no matter what happens with inflation, your principal and interest payments won’t change.That’s not the case if you rent. Rent tends to rise over time, and it usually goes up even faster than the rate of inflation. Just look at the data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) and the Census Bureau (see graph below):So, while renters face higher costs year after year, homeowners with a fixed mortgage rate lock in their monthly payments, making it easier to budget no matter what happens with inflation.Home Prices Typically Rise Faster Than InflationAnother big reason homeownership is a great hedge against inflation is that home values tend to appreciate over time — often at a higher rate than inflation, according to data from the BEA and Fannie Mae (see graph below):That makes real estate one of the strongest long-term investments during times of rising prices. While inflation can chip away at the value of cash savings, real estate typically holds or grows in value, allowing you to build wealth.On the other hand, renting offers no protection against inflation. In fact, it does the opposite — when inflation drives up costs, landlords often pass those increases onto tenants through higher rents.That means as a renter, you’re continually paying more without gaining any financial benefit. But as a homeowner, rising prices work in your favor by increasing the value of your home and growing your equity over time.And with experts forecasting continued home price growth, that means you’re making an investment that usually grows in value and should outperform inflation in the years ahead.In short, a fixed-rate mortgage protects your budget, and home price appreciation grows your net worth. That’s why homeownership is a strong hedge against inflation.Bottom LineInflation can make everyday expenses unpredictable, but owning a home gives you stability. Unlike rent, your monthly mortgage payment stays pretty much the same over time. Plus, the value of your home is likely to increase after you buy.How would having a fixed housing payment change the way you budget for the future?
Are You Asking Yourself These Questions About Selling Your House?

Some homeowners hesitate to sell because they’ve got unanswered questions that hold them back. But a lot of times their concerns are based on misconceptions, not facts. And if they’d just talk to an agent about it, they’d see these doubts aren’t necessarily a hurdle at all.If uncertainty is keeping you from making a move, it’s time to get the real answers. The ones you deserve. And to take the pressure off, you don’t have to ask the questions, because here’s the data that answers them.1. Is It Even a Good Idea To Move Right Now? If you own a home already, you may be tempted to wait because you don’t want to sell and take on a higher mortgage rate on your next house. But your move may be a lot more feasible than you think, and that’s because of how much your house has likely grown in value.Think about it. Do you know anyone in your neighborhood who’s sold their house recently? If so, did you hear what it sold for? With how much home values have gone up in recent years, the number may surprise you. According to Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist at the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the typical homeowner has gained $147,000 in housing wealth in the last five years alone.That’s significant – and when you sell, that can give you what you need to fund your next move.2. Will I Be Able To Find a Home I Like? If this is on your mind, it’s probably because you remember just how hard it was to find a home over the past few years. But in today’s market, it isn’t as challenging.Data from Realtor.com shows how much inventory has increased – it's up nearly 25% compared to this time last year (see graph below): Even though inventory is still below more normal pre-pandemic levels, it’s improved a lot in the past year. And the best part is, experts say it’ll grow another 10 to 15% this year. That means you have more options for your move – and the best chance in years to find a home you love.3. Are Buyers Still Buying?And last, if you’re worried no one’s buying with rates and prices where they are right now, here’s some perspective that can help. While there weren’t as many home sales last year as there’d be in a normal market, roughly 4.24 million homes still sold (not including new construction), according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR). And the expectation is that number will rise in 2025. But even if we only match how many homes sold last year, here’s what that looks like.4.24 million homes ÷ 365 days in a year = 11,616 homes sell each day11,616 homes ÷ 24 hours in a day = 484 homes sell per hour484 homes ÷ 60 minutes = 8 homes sell every minuteThink about that. Just in the time it took you to read this, 8 homes sold. Let this reassure you – the market isn’t at a standstill. Every day, thousands of people buy, and they're looking for homes like yours.Bottom LineWhen you’re ready to walk through what’s on your mind, connect with an agent to get the answers you need.
Why You’ll Love Owning a Home

Some HighlightsOwning a home comes with many benefits, both non-financial and financial.From the sense of accomplishment and freedom of expression, to growing your net worth, it’s easy to fall in love with homeownership.What’s the top reason you’d love to own a home?

The Secret To Selling This Spring: Start the Prep Work Now

Spring is the busiest season in the housing market. It’s the time of year when buyers are most active – that means it’s when homes sell faster and for top dollar. If you’ve already got a move on your mind, why not list this spring and take advantage of the added buyer demand? Since spring is just around the corner, now’s the time to start getting your house market-ready. You’ve got just over a month to do the prep work. And while that may sound like a decent amount of time, it’s going to go by quickly. And you won’t want to rush through this important task – especially this year. The Right Repairs Will Matter More This SpringRight now, two things are true. There are more homes on the market than there have been in years. And buyers are being extra selective. That combination means you need to invest some time and effort in making strategic repairs. And many homeowners already have a jump on this work. In the 2025 Outlook for Home Remodeling, Carlos Martin, Director of the Remodeling Futures Program at the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University, explains:“. . . homeowners are slowly but surely expanding the pace and scope of projects compared to the last couple years.”And the most common projects they’re tackling are replacing water heaters, HVAC units, and flooring. Energy efficiency is a key consideration too, based on home improvement data from the Census.What To Prioritize as You Plan AheadBut just because that’s what other homeowners are doing, it doesn’t mean that’s what you have to tackle. Think about what you’d want to see if you were a buyer. Focus on quick wins that are easy to knock out with the time you have – but, don’t ignore key repairs, especially ones you think could turn off buyers. While big-ticket items like replacing an old roof or outdated flooring may seem daunting, they can pay off – especially if you focus on projects with the best return on investment (ROI). An agent’s expertise is key in narrowing down your list to what’s actually worth it. They know what buyers in your area want and they also have data like this report from Zonda to guide you on which updates have the best ROI (see green in the graph below):That’s why it’s so important to talk to a local real estate agent before you dive into any repairs. Bankrate puts it best:“As a seller, it’s smart to be prepared and control whatever factors you’re able to. Things like hiring a great real estate agent and maximizing your home’s online appeal can translate into a smoother sale — and more money in the bank.”It’s not too early to partner with an agent. By starting now, you’ve still got time to space out the work and find any contractors you need to get the job done. If you wait until spring to roll up your sleeves, you risk running out of time – and that means your house may be overshadowed by others who are more buyer-ready.Bottom LineIf you’re planning to sell this spring, it’s time to start tackling your to-do list. But, before you get started, connect with an agent. That way you can make sure you’re spending your time and budget on projects that’ll pay off in the long run. Send an agent a list of what’s on your to-do list, so you can prioritize them together.
Breaking Into the Market: Smart Moves for First-Time Buyers

If you’re like a lot of aspiring homebuyers, there’s a major hurdle standing in your way — the cost of living. From groceries to gas, eggs, and just about everything else, prices have gone up. And that rings true for home prices, too.But even when everything feels expensive, there are still ways to make homeownership more than an item on your wish list. You may just need to think about where you plan to buy a bit differently.Think of Your First Home as a Stepping Stone One of the biggest misconceptions among buyers is that their first home has to be their forever home – or that it has to check all the boxes of what they want right out of the gate. In reality, it’s just a starting point.Once you own a home, you start to build equity, which grows over time as home prices rise. Down the road, if you want to move — whether to a larger space, a better location, or both — the equity you’ve gained can help you do just that.So rather than waiting until you can afford your dream home in your ideal neighborhood, consider starting with something that works for now.Expand Your Search To Find More Affordable Options If high home prices in your favorite area are holding you back, it’s time to cast a wider net. By keeping an open mind and being flexible with location, you may be surprised at what’s possible within your budget. Many buyers find success by looking in surrounding areas – and some even choose to move out of state.According to a report from Realtor.com, these are some of the best markets for first-time homebuyers this year (see chart below):Of course, moving to a different state isn’t for everyone – and isn’t a necessity. The right agent can help you find more cost-effective options wherever you are. If you want to stay local, looking just outside your preferred neighborhood could help you find something you can afford that’s still pretty close to your favorite restaurants, shops, and activities. Sometimes, moving as little as 10 minutes away makes a big difference.And the best way to see what’s available is to work with a real estate agent who understands the local market and can help you identify hidden gems nearby. An agent can point you to communities you may not have considered that have lower price tags now and are steadily gaining value and appeal. That way you can buy your first home and be set up to gain equity through the years.Bottom LineToday’s cost of living is a challenge for many homebuyers. But by exploring different areas and working with a knowledgeable agent, you can take that first step toward owning a home — and building equity for your future. How far outside of your area would you look to make homeownership happen? Connect with a local agent to chat through your options.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Mr. and Mrs. Shimmin

Buying our first home felt overwhelming at first, especially while transitioning out of the Army at Fort Campbell and relocating to Texas. We had no idea what to expect, but Heather guided us through every step, making the process clear and manageable. She was very personable and truly cared about getting us into the perfect home for us. She truly listened to what we wanted and ensured we found the perfect first home. She always responded to our questions quickly and even reached out to check in on us throughout the process. Her recommendations for other professionals along the way were just as helpful, making the entire experience smooth. We’re so grateful for her expertise and support!
Eryn Jorden

Heather Witte with Witte Group helped us sell our family home in Pflugerville. She was very helpful, responsive and resourceful. Would definitely work with her again.
Diane Reeve

Absolutely the best! We were referred to Heather Witte, of the Witte Group, to list our home in Cedar Park, TX. From the moment Heather came into our home and met with us, we knew that this was the realtor for us! Heather is professional, prepared, experienced (and it immediately shows), extremely detailed and has an unbelievable knowledge of the market conditions. She is an authentic human being and truly cares about her clients! We ended up selling our home to a buyer that came to view the house at an open house that Heather conducted, the first day on the market! There are not enough words to describe how wonderful our experience was from the beginning through closing with Heather! She is the first and only person that we will contact when we need to sell or purchase another home!
Lynn Sky

If I could give Heather 10 stars I would and she would deserve every single one. So fortunate to have found her! I bought my first condo with her as my realtor in 2013 and my second with her in 2024. Both times she had my back. Both developed a complicated event that can often appear during a closing - one had a last-minute assessment from the association, and the other a low appraisal but with her expertise in negotiations she solved each one far beyond my expectations. She’s so knowledgeable in every aspect needed for a successful closing plus has great recommendations for important needs during and after the closing. I can’t emphasize enough how much I would recommend Heather Witte for buyers who need someone they can trust to know the ends and outs of everything needed in buying a home and to see it through successfully. She will make it work for you.

Ravi Kiran

We are very happy for the outstanding support provided by Heather Witte from Witte Group during our home buying journey. As first-time buyers and being relatively new to Austin TX, her expertise was invaluable every step of the way. Heather guided us from the initial home search to the final closure, ensuring a seamless process throughout. She worked on our behalf, liaising with sales consultants and construction managers to address any issues promptly. Her presence at meetings was reassuring, as she asked pertinent questions and sought clarifications on our behalf. Heather provided invaluable assistance during various meetings, explaining trade-offs when needed. What truly stood out was her accessibility and dedication to our best interests. Heather was always available to assist us and looked out for us at every turn. We couldn't be happier with our new home, and we owe a huge thanks to Heather for making it possible. Highly recommended for anyone in need of a dedicated and knowledgeable realtor.
Lynda Fields

Heather Witte was referred to us by a homebuyer when we needed home in Buda Tx. After talking with Heather, we discovered she was extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market in the Austin area. We gave you a list of must haves, and she found one that met our criteria. When we were ready to move, we knew we needed Heather's experience to sell our house quickly. Her knowledge of knowing what we needed to do was instrumental in getting an offer on the house within the week of the open house. Her staging, description and photographs on the MLS were very professional. We appreciate all that Heather and the Witte Group did in helping us buy and sell our house. We would recommend her to anyone who is wanting to buy or sell a house.
ashley rejcek

Heather has taken our listing and gave it new life! Selling a family property from a distance is no easy feat; however, Heather has provided excellent communication and care into this listing. Her attention to detail is beyond any other! She has proven to be prompt, professional and responsive to various needs. Her connections to other supports (maintenance, decorating, lawn care) ect. have made our experience effortless. Working with Heather has given my family a peace of mind knowing our families property is in excellent hands. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for the delicate care and concern that she provides.
Shirley Lin

I feel incredibly lucky to have met Heather. She originally leased her house to us and has offered her realty services if we were ever ready to buy a home. After we fell in love with the neighborhood we were renting in, she helped us find our dream home. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the area, and was always honest about her opinions about every house we viewed without being pushy about making a decision on which homes to make an offer on. We've learned so much from working with her. She is always quick to respond when we had questions. She held our hands through every process and was always 10 steps ahead throughout. She is also a wealth of resources for loan officers, contractors, and other services. She never promoted or was biased with any connections and always offered a list of well recommended resources for us to research and select on our own. We purchased our house during the stay-at-home-order and Heather helped us get to the closing while easing so much of our anxieties during this time. Heather is truly a hidden gem and I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy in the Greater Austin area. I consider her a friend and the most qualified professional.
Sonya Lowrance

Heather is an experienced, detail oriented, and caring realtor to work with! She will be our families realtor for the ATX area as long as she is in business. Her market analysis is always accurate and marketing of the home is always well done and makes your house stand out no matter what your properties' price point is! Thank you Heather for representing our family and finding many homes that we have loved! Here is an example from one of our home sales.
Tracy Hagler

Personal Attention. Closed on time with no problems or challenges. This was our 2nd time to use Heather Witte.
Spencer Cureton

Heather is a pro! She's been amazing to work with and is who you want on your team, especially when going into a stressful environment like home buying. Great advice, lots of experience and knowledge and runs circles around the other realtors!
Valerie Loving Bonn

Heather Witte, from Witte Group was so easy to work with. She helped us sell our home in Austin, TX. She advised us how to get our house “selling ready” and how to get the most out of our investment. I’d refer her to more of my friends and family just as our friends referred her to us.
Manasvi dikshit

Heather Witte (from Witte Group) helped me find an under-construction home in Georgetown (Austin Suburbs). Heather is highly skilled about the real state market. Her timely advice helped through the buying process. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or rent home around Austin area.
M Norton

Heather is a great realtor. She knows what she is doing. She is up front with you and does not give you any bull. Will be using her in the future for any realtor needs.
Sally Melant

Heather helped us sell our home in Georgetown after another realtor had the listing for 6 months. She came in, gave us a few suggestions and sold the house within a month to someone who had been interested earlier. She simply recontacted their broker and a deal was made in days! She is wonderful. I would use her again without hesitation.
Holly Lyons - Olson

Heather is the only realtor we’ve used in the Austin area and she’s the only one we’ll ever use! We’ve had Heather’s help with the purchase of two homes (one being a new build) and sale one home and there is no way I could’ve made it through the process without her. She is so incredibly knowledgeable about the market and gives the best advice without being pushy. She’s phenomenal at staging a home and only uses the best companies for the sale process (inspector, appraiser, photographer). She’s very responsive and will always return your calls as soon as possible. She’ll talk to you as long as you need to help you understand a part of the process or to help you make a decision that is in your best interest. If you are looking to rent or buy in the Austin area do yourself a favor and call Heather today!
Heather Sala

My realtor, Heather Witte with the Witte Group out of Austin, Texas helped me sell our home in New Braunfels, Texas. Heather did an amazing job! She walked me through each step of the selling process to make certain I was always making informed decisions regarding the sale of our home to any potential home buyer. Heather helped make certain we maximized our profit by advising us based on current market trends and the ever changing home buying environment. She held several open houses to show case our home and its many wonderful attributes, especially the view!! I would definitely refer Heather to any of my family or friends and would also love to work with her again in the future.
Emily DeWees

Heather Witte is hands down the BEST realtor we have ever worked with. We've worked with several realtors before and let's face it in today's market you know at least 10 realtors who are friends. Heather took our unsellable house that had been listed for 9 months with a previous realtor and within 24 hours of the listing we were in a multiple offer situation. We got a contract over asking price. She really knows how to improve a home, make it beautiful and listen to the buyers and sellers. Heather is very professional and really cares about her clients. She is like family and gets to know the families she works with. She has Wonderful people skills and is there every step of the way. If you're in Central Texas and need a top notch realtor, Heather is definitely the right one.
Melva Harbin

Heather Witte and the Witte Group are fabulous. Heather is extremely knowledge about the market and will work hard to be the best agent for you. She made sure that when our house went on the market it was in the best shape. No matter the time Heather was committed to working with my husband and I. She was able to make sure that our listing reached as many audiences as possible. We were able to sell our home for a great price. Heather is a hard worker and will go beyond your expectations to work with you in selling and buying property. I can say that Heather is a great broker and is a wonderful friend.
Patrick Bouquet

Heather has helped us buy 2 homes and sell 3. She has an excellent team of associates who know how to best present your property. She does her research on the market and offers good advice on market conditions and recommended sales prices. If you are a buyer, she provides exceptional observations on market trends. She takes the time to understand what you are looking for and screens potential views accordingly highlighting the elements that match and what a particular home may be lacking. She is the consummate professional and will give you an honest interaction.
Kurt Compeau

Heather Witte of the Witte Group sold my home in Cedar Park (2019). I came to Heather after another realtor failed to sell my home after many months. When Heather got involved things immediately began moving. Proper staging, fantastic marketing using various information sharing platforms, well attended and managed open houses. It’s no surprise that Heather closed the sale of my house in approximately 45 days. Heather’s work ethic, knowledge and professionalism causes me to recommend her to friends and family. I highly recommend Heather to you too.
Cheryl Law

Great Broker smooth sale and effective realtor
Berta Perkins

Heather has lots of years of experience as an Associate Broker and we had an excellent result selling our house in Austin TX
Jan Rigsby

I had 3 rental properties in Austin and wanted to sell one of them. Heather and I were in touch for over 1 year, monitoring the market, until one of them went vacant. She advised me on how much to invest in repairs / upgrades, helped me find contractors, and sold the property within 6 weeks at surprisingly high price. She's professional, knowledgeable, practical, and honest. I wouldn't consider any other real estate agent!
Christopher Springborn

Heather was absolutely amazing. After our initial meet and greet she knew exactly what we were looking for in the area we wanted but was patient enough with us until we figured it out for ourselves. She showed us anything we wanted to look at and worked hard for us once our negotiations started. Would recommend here time and time again!!!
Emilie Shimmin

Heather Witte, from Witte Group, helped my grandparents buy a home in Georgetown, Texas. She was absolutely exceptional and went above and beyond what is expected of a realtor. She helped make sure all of their wants and needs were met while staying well within their budget. She didn’t stop there, though. My grandfather was new to the area and not comfortable around town, yet and she checked on him to make sure that he was doing okay. She really became part of the family. I am looking forward to moving to the area in a little over a year and will definitely look to Heather for help finding a home!
Don Massey

Heather is amazing. The process of listing and selling our home was simple. Heather provided us with excellent expert advice that got us top dollar in a very short turnaround. Our go to realtor for all our future needs.
Jamie Harnish

Heather is my go-to realtor to refer people I know who are moving to Austin. She's knowledgeable, education-forward, and she cares about the client's results and satisfaction with the process. Heather does a great job of staying on top of market data which allows her to be in tune with providing appropriate suggestions to buyers and sellers based on their needs. It's critical to know what state the market is in in real-time (seller friendly? buyer friendly? balanced) and that happens to be one of Heather's strong suits. I have no hesitation making introductions to anyone I know moving Heather's way!
Casey DeWees

Heather Witte of the Witte Group absolutely saved our sanity when she helped us sell our house in Cedar Park several years ago. We had listed our house originally with another agent and our house sat on the market for almost 9 months. It had a lot of showings but no offers, and the other agent's only trick was to keep lowering the asking price. We had a newborn baby and dogs, so keeping the house show-ready and getting everyone packed up to show the house all the time was very stressful. We were at our breaking point when we finally decided to take our listing down. But then Heather came in and told us some things to do and she brought in a professional stager and a photographer, and it sold for several thousand over our original asking just a day or two after our listing went live with her. Heather is easy to work with and straight-forward, and she never tried to BS us or to just tell us what we wanted to hear, which I greatly appreciated. We would both highly recommend Heather to anyone buying or selling
Vladimir Kargov

I applied for one of their listings on Go4Rent and after several days of waiting got a reply that the place had already been rented before I even submitted my application. I was then suggested their services in finding other options. I don't understand why the listing wasn't removed if the place had already been rented. I consider this to be a bait and switch tactic.

Heather is a superb realtor! She knows how to do it all - from scoping the right areas/properties to coordinating a smooth closing process among all the key players (inspection, title, lender, seller's realtor, etc.). In a hot market, quick timing is of the essence. Heather shared market research, answered our questions in detail, and still managed to write our contracts in a short turn-around. Her dedication to our home search and open lines of communication made us feel like we were her only clients. Talk about putting the client needs first! Heather's personal touch, proactive approach, and extensive knowledge are what makes her a great realtor. We highly recommend working with Heather Witte!

I want to give a big shout out for Heather Witt and her expertise as a realtor. The Witte group is amazing! Not only is Heather friendly and easy to reach any time, she is smart, very detailed oriented and easy to understand in regards to sales and purchase and Texas Law. Heather will go above and beyond to meet your needs with clear and factual advice. Heather connected me to an amazing Title company and assisted with my finance of the home I chose in Lago Vista Texas. After this purchase Heather also assisted me with 2 separate land purchases that has essentially kept my home in Lago private and enhanced the worth of my main home property. Heather really cares about her clients and I would not go to another realtor here in Texas.
BrandyConway3

If you're looking for a realtor who really knows the market and listens to what you're looking for, then look no further than Heather Witte, with the Witte Group. We were first-time homeowners with no real idea of what we were doing. Heather helped us through every step of the home purchasing process. Fast forward 9 years and when we got ready to sell our first home we didn't think twice about who our realtor would be. We were in a fast sell situation as I was scheduled to move for a new job out of state. Again, Heather was there through every step of the process. She helped guide us on how to best stage our home, she connected us with a realtor to where we were moving, and she negotiated offers to help make sure we got the best deal possible. Heather is amazing and you won't regret working with her!

Heather got us through a really tough year; she was our rock. We decided to have our new home built and unfortunately, we faced problem after problem with our builder. (From forgotten building permits, delayed building supplies and subpar workmanship.) Heather helped us navigate every step of the way. She had our back on every issue we faced. Heather’s skill set, knowledge and communication skills were key to getting us into our home. Heather went above and beyond for us, we are so glad we found her!

Heather did a great job finding us a rent home. She is very responsive and knowledgeable. She was able to make deals with landlords and offer us below asking price on a few houses we were looking at. Overall, I was very impressed with the service she provided and will definitely recommend her.

Heather is dedicated to not only finding her clients the best home but guiding them through the entire process from start to finish. My fiancé and I were looking to rent a home and could not have stumbled upon a better realtor. Heather took time to show us 5+ homes available to rent that were within our price range and even worked to negotiate different aspects with the listing agents. After deciding on the perfect home for us, Heather helped us understand the application process, and vouched for us when we had questions and concerns. She checked in on us and ensured that we had everything squared away leading up to our move-in date. I could not recommend Heather enough if you are looking to buy or rent in the Austin area.

Recently, we wanted to sell our home in Georgetown, TX. We thought that we had a unique set of issues that would need to be addressed and wanted a real estate agent that would be able to address those issues. As it turned out, our issues of concern were easily resolved. However, during the closing process, Heather rose to resolve challenges that were not resolved by the buyers or buyer’s agent. Heather was very resourceful in resolving those challenges. The buyers should have fired their agent and compensated Heather for her diligent in completing the contract with only a very minor delay in closing. I would recommend Heather Witte with Witte Group @ eXp Reality for her market knowledge, expertise and professionalism.

Heather listed my home at the market value and moved to make the listing stand out and bring the buyers to the property by showing the many advantages of my home and the location the area offers.

Heather has help me with the sale of two homes, and the purchase of another. She's amazing. Her experience, expertise, knowledge of the market, and judgement are spot on. Both sales returned better than expected results, and when I was looking for a home she found me exactly what I was looking for. I trust her and value her guidance and counsel throughout the process. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Heather sold our Condo, found our new house, then helped us sell our new house, so we could move to our land in the country. We completely relied on her for her expertise, extensive knowledge base, and her years of experience. She's our goto!!!

I've worked with Heather on one purchase and two sales. Her experience, professionalism, and negotiation capabilities are top notch. Following her advice both sales resulted in better than expected returns. The purchase resulted in a house I still regret selling (she found exactly what I was looking for and we negotiated a great price for it.) I trust her implicitly and have no reservations about recommending her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She will give you direct, honest, and valuable advice throughout the process.
